Copperplate by Dutailly(1795) in E. Fuchs, IllustrierteSittengeschichte: Das bürgerliche Zeitalter
六百六
Jottings:
Massimo d'Azegliodescribed a ridiculous fad in the historical painting of his time:"Anche in arte vi fu allora un gran movimento verso il culto delvero…. Si cercò col vero dinanzi la forma antica nella sua monotonaaffettazione; si volle vedere il nudo da per tutto, fino sotto levesti; si dipinsero figure che sembrava le avessero indossobagnate. La mania arrivò al punto che per uno scultore classicol'umbilico fu visibile sotto la corazza del medio evo, ed undisegnatore dovendo rappresentare Napoleone in piedi, segnava larotula sotto lo stivale a tromba!" (I MieiRicordi,"Biblioteca classica Hoepliana", pp. 130-1). One might call it anattempt to make the overcoat do also the duty of underclothes — theveritable idea of feminine dress! Cf. the wickedly expressivepassage in Martial, XI. cxix; "De cathedra quotiens surgis (iamsaepe notavi), / pedicant miserae, Lesbia, te tunicae… / sicconstringuntur magni Symplegade culi / et nimias intrant Cyaneasquenatis" [1] (Epigrams,"The Loeb Classical Library", II, p. 306) — the use of theword pedicare hereis a wonderful example of pathetic fallacy & quite in theconvention of Homer's "the ruthless stone", "the arrow eager tofly", "the spears longing to take their fill of flesh", etc. (cf.Aristotle,Rhetoric,III, xi, "The Loeb Classical Library", p.407). Dutailly'scopperplate (reproduced in E.Fuchs, IllustrierteSittengeschichte, III, S.172) might serve as an illustration of Martial's line.
I am reminded in thisconnexion of Klopstock's "schöne Bild von Gedanken und Sprache":"Wie dem Mädchen , das aus dem Bade steigt, das Gewand anliegt"(quoted in E. Engel, Deutsche Stilkunst,24teAufl., S. 94), as well as of William James's similefor Bergson's style: "A 'straightforward style' — a flexibility ofverbal resource that follows the thought without a crease orwrinkle, as elastic silk underclothing follows the movements ofone's body" (A Pluralistic Universe, p. 227; A. Albalat,however, attacked Bergson's style as jargonistic &dismissed Matière etMémoire as written "dans une langueinintelligible"; he also quoted Faquet's opinion on Bergson'sbooks: "Je n'en ai jamais compris une seule page"— Comment, Il ne Faut pas Écrire, p. 181).Julien Benda seems to have borrowed from James: "Le style d'idéesdoit se mouler exactement sur lapensée... celle-ci lui demande de nelui valoir qu'un vêtement transparent" (Du Style d'Idées, p.9). Benda often seem bent upon creating the impression of being oneof those geniuses whom Kant called "die blossen Naturalisten desKopfs (élèves de lanature, Autodidacti)"; people who "siezwar manches, was sie wissen, von anderen hätten lernen können, fürsich selbst ausgedacht haben" (Anthropologie, §59— Werke, hrsg. E. Cassirer, Bd. VIII, S.116, but his book-learning is greater than his air of doggedly hardthinking may lead people to believe, & heoften prends son, bien où il le trouve;another instance of his "foreign debt" owed to the Americans is:Hawthorne: "Letter to an Editor": "The greatest possible merit ofstyle is, of course, to make the words absolutely disappear intothe thought." [2] "C'est à peu près comme sil'on disait qu'une pensée sur le bleu doit s'efforcer d'être bleu"(op.cit., p.29) — cf. R.B. Perry, PresentPhilosophical Tendencies, p. 234: "The word 'blue'may mean blue, although the word is not blue."
Joubert mentioned Kant several timesin Pensées (Éd. "LibraireAcadémique", Tit. XXIV. iii. 17). I don't suppose he knew hiswritings well. The aphorism, "Que de savants forgent les sciences,cyclopes laborieux, ardents, infatigables, mais qui n'ont qu'unoeil" (Tit. XVIII. 93), is, however, strongly reminiscent ofKant's Anthropologie, §59. Kant was talkingabout types of genius; having mentioned"derarchitektonische, der den Zusammenhang allerWissenschaften, und wie sie einander unterstützen, methodischeinsieht," he spoke of another type: "Es giebt aberauch gigantische Gelehrsamkeit,die dochoft zyklopisch ist, dernämlich ein Auge fehlt: nämlich das der wahren Philosophie, umdiese Menge des historischen Wissens, die Fracht von hundertKameelen, durch die Vernunft zweckmässig zu benutzen"(Werke, hrsg. E. Cassirer, Bd. VIII, S.116).
Grillparzer's epigram on"Moderne Logik": "Das sind wunderliche Denkgesetze / Und leer anwahrer Beweiseskraft, / Wo Logik gibt die Folgesätze / Und denObersatz die Leidenschaft" (Gesam. Werk., hrsg. E. Rollettund A. Sauer, Bd. II, S. 62-3). This should take its place besideF.H. Bradley's famous boutade: "Metaphysicsis the finding of bad reasons for what we believe uponinstinct; but to find these reasonsis itself an instinct" (Appearance & Reality, p. xiv).Both were written in pre-Freudian days when "rationalization" wasnot heard of. Cf. Collected Papers of C.S.Peirce, VI, pp. 4-5: "There is an ethics indissolubly bound upwith it [the logic used by science] — an ethics of fairness &impartiality — & a writer, who teaches, byhis example, to find arguments for a conclusion which he wishes tobelieve, saps the very foundations of science by trifling with itsmorals." Incidentally this passage is just another proof of thedifference, which amounts to almost opposition, between Peirce'spragmaticism & William James'spragmatism [3]. SamuelButler, ErnestPontifex, or The Way of All Flesh, ch. 66: "His [Euclid's]superstructure is demonstration, his ground is faith" (Methuen, p.247). Cf. Pareto, GeneralSociology,§1749 (Eng. tr., II, p. 1209, marginalia).
Walter Bagehot: "Butler's literary manner is awkward &hesitating. He seems to have an obscure feeling of what the truthis; but his manipulation of words & images is not apt enough tobring it out. Like the miser in the story, he has a schilling abouthim somewhere, if people will only give him time & solitude tomake research for it" (Literary Studies, ed. R.H. Hutton,III, p. 127). This must be an allusion to DavidCopperfield, ch. 21: "'I have got a trifle of money somewhereabout me, my dear,' said Mr Barkis,'but I'm a little tired. If you &Mr David will leave me for a short nap,I'll try & find it when I wake."
E.J. Trelawney: "Atheism is no longer a term of reproach but anindication of intelligence" (Letters of E.J. Trelawney, ed.by H. Buxton Forman, p. 248). Cf. James Martineau: "It is no longeran insult to a clergyman's honour,but rather a compliment to his intelligence, to suspect him ofsaying one thing & believing another" (quoted in Carlyle D.Burns, Horizons of Experience, p. 291). In other words, for a manliving in a block universe of discourse or a climate of monolithicopinion where, in Bossuet's words,l'hérétique est celui qui aune opinion, the "moral obligation of being intelligent"entails also the immoral obligation of being hypocritical. To avoidfire & faggots, a lover of truth has to nurse a lie in hissoul.
"Ostrich burying its head"; cf.《欒城集》卷一《次韻子瞻聞不赴商幕》第一首:"閉門已學龜頭縮,避謗仍兼雉尾藏",自注:"雉藏不能盡尾,鄉人以為諺。"Cf. 楊棨《蜨庵詩集‧壬寅六月紀事‧之四》:"未憑駝足走,先學雉頭藏。"
TheDiary of Fanny Burney, Nov. 28th, 1784 records avisit to Dr Johnson who told her aboutthe last illness of his wife: "When she was carried to the lodgingsthat had been prepared for her, she complained that the staircasewas in very bad condition — for the plaster was beaten off in manyplaces. 'Oh,' said the man of the house, 'that's nothing but theknocks against it of the coffins of the poor souls that have diedin the lodgings!'" ("Everyman's Library", p. 92). Cf. AntoineAlbalat, Souvenirs de la vie littéraire, nouvelle éd., p. 8recording Daudet's remark: "L'idée de la mort a empoisonné monexistence. Chaque fois que je change d'appartement, ma premièreréflexion est de me dire: Comment fera-t-on pour sortir toncercueil?"; "Q.", Hocken & Huncken, ch.5, in which Mr Philip warned CaptainHocken: "I don't know no unhandier houses for gettin' out a corpse.There's a turn at the foot o' the stairs; mostawkward."
TheDiary of Fanny Burney, Dec. 19th, 1875: "'Was thereever,' cried he [the King], 'such stuff asgreat part of Shakespeare?only one must not say so! But what thinkyou? — What? — Is there not sadstuff? — what —what?'" (p. 111). This isapparently a kind of a signature view of British aristocracy onShakespeare; e.g. Martin Chuzzlewit, ch.28, Mr Pip: "The Viscount said:'Shakespeare is an infernal humbug,Pip! What' the good ofShakespeare, Pip? I never read him. What the devil is it all about,Pip? There's a lot of feet in Shakspeare's verse, but there ain'tany legs worth mentioning in Shakspeare's plays, are there, Pip?'"Cf. Jacques Barzun, Teacher in America, p.150: "When, some twenty years ago, the old comicmagazine Life guaranteedanonymity if a score of American celebrities would write in theirhonest opinion of Shakespeare, the replies they received showedthat the name 'Shakepeare' stood for a consecratedbore."
TheDiary of Fanny Burney, September, 1787: "He [Harry Bunbury]adores Werter, & would scarce believe Ihad not read it — still less that I had begun it & left it off,from distaste at its evident tendency. I saw myself sink instantlyin his estimation" (p. 181). William Rose overlooked this passagein his account of early English referencesto Werther (see Men,Myths, & Movements in German Literature, pp. 148 ff.). Norhad he lit upon the following passage in MariaEdgeworth's CastleRackrent (1801): "What is it you're readingthere? my dear?' asked Sir Condy… 'The Sorrows of Werter,'replies my lady" ("Everyman's Library" ed., p.43).
Rosalie GlynnGrylls, William Godwin & His World, p.64: "The dictum of Max Beerbohm inZuleika Dobson, thatbeauty & the lust for learning have yet to be allied, was notapplicable to the women intellectuals of the French Revolutionperiod." I don't recall this dictum in Max's novel, but there isone to the same effect inAntoine Furetière's LeRoman Bourgeois, "Édition Porteret", p. 124: "Aussi n'est-ilpas possible que les filles se puissent piquer en mesme temps descience et de beauté; car la lecture et les veilles leur rendentles yeux battus,et elles ne peuvent conserver leur teint frais ouleur enbon-point, si elles ne vivent dans la delicatesse et dansl'oysiveté." Cf. Anatole France's comment on "une fillet trèsmaigre, mais bacheliers-ès-lettres": "Un peu moins de titres et unpeu plus de tétons" (J.-J. Brousson, AnatoleFrance en Pantoufles,p. [4]).See 第百五十則 a propos ofBaudelaire, Journal Intime, p. 123& 第二百三十九則 apropos of Heine's Briefe überDeutschland.
Grillparzer: "Poesie undProsa sind voneinander unterschieden wie Essen und Trinken. Manmuss vom Wein nicht fordern, dass er auch den Hunger stillen soll,und wer, um das zu erreichen, ekelhaft Brot in seinen Wein brockt,mag das Schweinefutter selbst ausfressen" (Gesam. Werk.,hrsg. von E. Rollett und A. Sauer, II, S. 142-3). Again: "Die Prosaist des Menschen Speise, die Poesie sein Trank, der nicht nährt,sondern erquickt. Man kann aber auch, wie die neuesten Deutschen,Bier trinken, in dem Nahrungsstoffe zur Gärung gebracht sind, wovonman fett wird und noch dazu einen schweren Dusel in den Kopfbekommt" (Ibid., S. 150). Cf.《圍爐詩話》卷一:"意喻之米,文則炊而為飯,詩則釀而為酒。飯不變米形,酒則盡變。噉飯則飽,飲酒則醉,醉則憂者以樂,喜者以悲,如《凱風》、《小弁》之意,斷不可以文章平直之道出之" —a simile much praised by 趙秋谷 in his《談龍錄》, 李重華《貞一齋詩說》& 紀曉嵐 in 《點論李義山詩集》卷下(《過崔兗海故宅》評語)&《點論蘇文忠詩集》卷五(《和子由記園中草木》第三首評語).Cf. also Valéry: "La pensée doit être cachée dans les vers comme lavertu nutritive dans un fruit. Un fruit est nourriture, mais il neparaît que délice. On ne perçoit que du plaisir, mais on reçoit unesubstance" (La Littérature, 1930, pp. 17-8); T.S. Eliot:"The chief use of the meaning of a poem is to keep the minddiverted & quiet, while the poem does its work upon him [thereader]: much as the imaginary burglar is always provided with anice piece of meat for the house-dog" (The Use of Poetry &the Use of Criticism, p. 151); J.B. Yeats: "with poets ideasare consciously or unconsciously part of their technique & ofthe machinery of poetry... Let poets, by all means, touch on ideas,but let it be only a 'touching' & a tentative groping with thesensitive poetical fingers... Religious poetry is poor & alwayswill be so — because it asserts a definite belief where such athing is impossible" (Letters to His Son & Others, pp.220-1); George Sampson: "Poetry uses matter to get itselfexpressed. Thus a mnemonic is not poetry; it is matter put intometrical form for the convenience ofthe memory. The ballad, atfirst sight, may seem to exist for the sake of the story. The truthis that the story exists for the sake of the ballad, & ismemorable as a story because it has been transmuted into form. Toldin prose as short & simple as the verse, most ballad-storieswould be immemorable anecdotes" (Seven Essays, p. 33). Inother words, teaching isthe bant but notthe bat ofpoetry [5]. Grillparzer, Valéry& Sampson have been simply applying to poetry the Schilleriancriterion for all fine arts: "Das eigentliche Kunst-geheimnis desMeisters, dass er den Stoff durch die Form vertilgt" (Briefeüber die ästhetische Erziehung des Menschen, XXII,SchillersWerke in drei Bänden, "Veb", II, S. 576).【Gottfried Keller, Brief anB. Auerbach, 25 Feb. 1860 [das Didaktische im Poetischen aufzelöstaufzulösen ist] "wie Zucker oder Salz im Wasser" (H. Meyers, DerSonderling in der deutschen Dichtung, Carl Hanser, S.197). 《傅大士心王銘》(《五燈會元》卷二):"水中鹽味,色裏膠青,決定是有,不見其形。"《遺山文集》36《杜詩學引》:"前人論子美用事有著鹽水中之喻。"《西清詩話》:"作詩用事要如禪家語:'水中著鹽,飲水乃知鹽味。'"王驥德《曲律論‧用事第二十一》:"又有一等事,用在句中,令人不覺,如禪家所謂撮鹽水中,飲水乃知鹽味,方是妙手。"】
"Io che in casa mia avevo veduto il mondo e la società a vistad'uccello, ora lo vedevo a vista di testuggine, o di qual altroanimale sta più umilmente attaccato alla piana terra" (I MieiRicordi, p. 136). Friedrich Paulsen, I remember, speakssomewhere in his Aus meinemLeben of der Blick aus derFroschschau in contradistinctionto der Blick aus der Vogelschau. In modernGerman: "Vogelperspektive" vs. "Froschperspektive", cf. "taking theworm's-eye view of public events" (J.Sutherland, English Satire, p.43).
H. Taine on les honnêtes jeunes filles:"Quand vous voyez à votre future des joues roses et des yeuxcandides, ne concluez pas qu'elle est un ange, mais qu'on la coucheà neuf heures et qu'elle a mangé beaucoup de côtelettes" (Vie etopinions de M. Frédéric-Thomas Graindorge, ch. 5). Cf. GeorgBüchner: "Es ist keine Kunst, ein ehrlicher Mann zu sein, wenn mantäglich Suppe, Gemüse und Fleisch zu essen hat" (Sämtliche Werkeund Briefe, hrsg. Bergemann, S. 607); Charles Kingsley: "On twothousand a year a man can afford to be honest" (Yeast, ch.6). Rebecca Sharp in Vanity Fair: "I thinkI could be a good woman if I had 5000 a year" (The OxfordThackeray, XI, p. 532). B. Brecht: "Erst kommt das Fressen,dann kommt die Moral" ("Denn wovon lebt der Mensch?"in Gedichte, hrsg. Hauptmann &Slupianek, I, S. 281); Ital. proverb: "Prima la trippa e poi lavirtù." Horace: "Virtus postnummos" (Epistulae,I. i. 53). Le Neveu de Rameau: "La voix dela conscience et de l'honneur est bien faible, lorsque les boyauxcrient."
W. Somerset Maugham, A Writer's Notebook,"The Collected Edition", p. 282: "One of the misfortunes of humanbeings is that they continue to have sexual desires long after theyare sexually desirable." Here Maugham shows himself a profounderpsychologist than Voltaire who, while saying in his "AMme du Châtelet" that "Qui n'a pasl'esprit de son âge, / De son âge a tout le Malheur," observed inthe same breath: "On meurt deux fois, je le vois bien: / Cesserd'aimer et d'être aimable" (Oeuvres Complètes, éd. Moland,VIII, p. 512). Cf. Leopardi, I Canti,XXXIII (quoted in 第百五十八則).Bruno 詩云:"Voto di spene, d'infernoa le porte, / colmo di desio al ciel arrivo"(De gli Eroici furori, Dial. II); "Ch'uccid'in speme e faviv'in desio" (Dial. III) (Opere, a cundi A. Guzzo, pp. 586, 597).Machiavelli to his young mistress: "Ma perché non uguali / son leforze al desìo / ne nascon tutti e mali, / ch' io sento..." ("AllaBarbera", in Opere, ed. M. Bonfantini, p.1080); Faust, I, 1546-7: "Ich bin zu alt,um nur zu spielen, / Zu jung, um ohne Wunsch zu sein"(Faust, Ed. E. Trunz, S. 83). Homer'sEpigrams, 12: "...grey-haired old men whose powers are dulled,but whose hearts still desire" (Hesiod, The Homeric Hymns, &Homerica, "Loeb", p. 473).
In his Dictionary of Slang, p. 57,Partridge says that the word "bitch" is more offensive than theword "whore" & adduces by way of proof the catchphrase, "I maybe a whore, but can't be a bitch!" The reason, I suppose, is that abitch, like a poet, is born while a whore, like a poet laureate, ismade; the former denotes character, & the latter impliescircumstances. Partridge should havequoted Joseph Andrews, Bk. I, ch. 17: "'Getyou out of my house, you whore.' To which she added another name,which we do not care to stain our paper with. It was a monosyllablebeginning with a b—, and indeed was the same as if she hadpronounced the words, 'she-dog'" ("The World's Classics", p.81).
Machiavelli: "Gli uomini sono ciechi nelle cose in cui peccanoquanto sono acerrimi persecutori dei vizi che non hanno"(Lettere familiari, ed. E. Alvisi, p. 320 — givenin Il Principe e altri scritti minori,"Biblioteca classica Hoepliana", p. 509). Cf. Hudibras, Pt. I,Canto I, ll. 215 f.: "Compound for sins they [the Antinomians] areinclined to, / By damning those they have no mind to." Sir HenryTaylor also wrote inhis Autobiography (1885),vol. I, pp. 92-3: "Every man who aspires to a certain intellectualrank & precedency has his peculiar system of morals made forhimself, like his easy chair — in which he arranges himself to hisown perfect
satisfaction, denouncing ex cathedrâ the easy chairs of all therest of mankind. There is nothing that is infirm or out of joint inhim but some dogma is put in like a cushion to bolster it up... Itis not long since I heard a Populationist vehemently reproach apoor but very respectable married gentleman for the sin of having 9children lawfully begotten. The Populationist, on the other hand,was a single man, & might very possibly be chargeable withsinning against another sort of philosophy."
《紫簫記》第十折,櫻桃:"笑咱青春不多也二八,好和歹,這些時破瓜,強指頭搔揉,櫈頭凹軋。" Cf.C. Binet-Sanglé, Le harashumain on the auto-erotism of some Frenchgirls: "Angèle, chaque soir, sur un siège different, vous vousdonnez à vous-même le plaisir que donne un amant... Julie [avec]son accoudoir d'un petit fauteuil" (cited in Ploss, Bartels &Bartels, Woman, tr, by E.J. Dingwall, II,p. 76); cf, Havelock Ellis, Studies in thePsychology of Sex, I, pp. 176-8 on the sewing machine & thebicycle.
Napoléon: "Les grands pouvoirs meurent d'indigestion" (citedin La Petite Illustration, 29 Juillet 1939,p. 2 de la couverture). Sir Henry Taylor: "Most great men have diedof over-eating themselves" (The Statesman, cited in L.P.Smith, A Treasury of English Aphorisms, p.250).
Albert Samain, Carnetsintimes: "Il y a deux sortes d'orgueil: l'un qui fait les vaniteux,l'autre qui fait les modestes. Le second est de beaucoup le plusprofond" (cited in La Petite Illustration,12 Août 1939, p. 2 de la couverture). Cf.Massimo d'Azeglio, I Miei Ricordi: "Quantecose anderebbero meglio al mondo se la vanità si mutasse inorgoglio? Questo basta a sè stesso. La vanità vuoll'applauso" [6] ("Bibliotecaclassica Hoepliana", p. 71). Neither is so good as Swift'sobservation: "Whoever desired the character of a proud Man, oughtto conceal his Vanity" (Satires & Personal Writings, ed.W.A. Eddy, p. 413). Cf. Myriam Le Bargy: "La recherche des honneurset des décorations est vanité; les mépriserrelève de l'orgueil"; André Siegfried: "La vaniteux met tous sestitres sur sa corte de visite ou sur son tombeau; l'orgueilleux n'yinscrit que son seul nom."
【Which reminds of thecliché in the ArabianNights about a man's "zabb swelling &lifting his garment in front of him" (The Thousand Nights &One Night, tr. P. Mathers, I, p. 511; cf. Catallus, XXXII,11,see 第五十二則).[7]】

范寅《越諺》三卷。力劬而學陋,考訂源流多出稗販附會,大致不出《通俗編》、《恆言錄》等書所引古語,以牽合之於俗諺。譬如卷上《格致之諺四》有云:"泰山倒來,人朊男陰也搘勿住。"范氏說曰:"《晉書‧孫惠傳》有'泰山厭卵'之句,此諺疑即從而套出。"豈非"紅蘿蔔上東蠟燭賬哩"(卷上《借喻之諺五》)乎?卷上《借喻之諺五》有云:"泥𦥈跌倒泥𦥈儽。"范氏說曰:"《傳燈錄》:'泥裏倒,泥裏起。'"《傳燈錄》卷一波旬為四祖所困,求救梵王,王説偈令其回向曰:"若因地倒,還因地起。"初無"泥裏"云云之文也。他若"若要小兒安,常帶三分飢與寒"(卷上《警世之諺二》),不知其始著籍於《敬齋古今黈》卷五。(《潛夫論》曰:"小兒多病傷於飽,然此言但知節食耳。俗諺云:'小兒欲得安,無過飢與寒。'非謂飢之寒之,但撙節之而已。近世一醫師云:'貧兒誤得安樂法',則是富兒故求病也。")張黃岳《雲谷臥餘》卷四引此諺,欲改"寒"字為"汗"字,則其余智自雄,竄易杜詩之結習也。"鐵擣杵磨繡針,只要工夫深"(卷上《格致之諺四》),不知其始著錄於鄭所南《一百二十圖詩》卷(見第四百九十一則)。"拿賊拿贓,捉姦捉雙"(卷上《警世之諺二》),不知其見于元曲《燕青博魚》、《伍員吹簫》、《酷寒亭》、《㑳梅香》及湯若士之《牡丹亭》(見第三十則)。"吃得砒霜藥老虎"(卷上《借喻之諺五》),不知其本之《抱朴子》之"食毒中蚤蝨",《通俗編》卷三十八所謂"變古"也。更僕難數。
"窮義夫,富節婦。"范氏說云:"窮夫不續絃,富婦不再醮。"(卷上《格致之諺四》)按吳昆田《漱六山房全集》卷九《札記》有云:"小秋言:'龍元僖以光卿乞假終養,上謂侍臣曰:"元僖治世之忠臣,亂世之孝子也。"'"周壽昌《思益堂日札》卷九《借用語可笑》條云:"家貧出忠臣,謂艱於資斧,不能歸也;國亂出孝子,謂託詞引退終養也。"
"做狗。"范氏說云:"諱言病。"(卷上《孩語孺歌之諺十七》)按北京人曰:"變狗。"
"殠豬頭有齆鼻頭菩薩受用。"(卷上《格致之諺四》)按馮猶龍《黃山謎》中《夾竹桃》之《惟有葵花》一首,花底閒人評曰:"諺云:'十個麻子九個俏,沒有麻子不風騷。'此方是爛鼻孔菩薩愛嗅臭豬頭耳。"
"屁股眼裏吹喇叭。"范氏說云:"戲言痢疾。"(卷上《孩語孺歌之諺十七》)按《詞林摘艷》卷一劉庭信《寨兒令》云:"屁則聲樂器刁決。"Inferno,XXI. 137-8: "ed egli avea del cul fattotrombetta" [11] ,謂湊氛也,恰相發明。
"蝨多勿癢,債多勿愁。"(卷上《格致之諺四》)按洪舜俞《平齋文集》卷七《歲暮山中記事》第二首云[12] :"里巷負暄翁,隤然支離疏。饕虱緣縕袍,點綴頷下鬚。傍人勸翁捫,摇手一任渠。虱多轉不癢,何庸事驅除。"
"張三李四。"(卷上《數目之諺十》)范氏說云:"王安石《擬寒山詩》、《朱子語類》。"按當作《擬寒山拾得詩》第八首:"張三袴口窄,李四帽簷長",第十四首:"莫嫌張三惡,莫愛李四好"(雁湖《注》本卷四)。尹和靖《自秦入蜀道中》云:"綠陰深處竹籬遮,也有紅花映白花。却憶故鄉卿相第,不及張三李四家。"(嘉靖本《和靖先生集》卷四)元曲楊文奎《兒女團圓》第四折:"丁一、卯二、張三、李四。"《三國志‧魏志‧袁張涼國田王邴管傳第十一》注:"張甲李乙,尚猶先之",蓋張、李連稱,莫早於此。《青箱雜記》載僧以詩卷授曹琰云:"猿啼旅思凄",琰曰:"犬吠張三嫂",亦即謂張三李四也。《戲瑕》卷三引唐諺"張公吃酒李公醉"、"張公帽兒李公戴"、"張三有錢不會使,李四會使却無錢。"
"丈姆見郎,割嬭放湯。"(卷上《事類之諺九》)按《何典》第四回有"割屄齋僧"之諺,更奇。
"石米壓弗殺人,斗米壓殺人。"范氏說云:"即不竭人忠,不盡人歡之意。"(卷上《格致之諺四》)按即 "Thelast drop makes the cup run over," "The last straw (or feather)breaks the camel's back"。
"天高皇帝遠。"范氏說云:"無由上愬。"(卷上《借喻之諺五》)按此語出黃溥《閒中今古錄》,梁山舟《直語補證》已考定(《頻羅菴遺集》卷十四)。俄諺亦云:"Godis high & the Tsar is too far away"。
"肉掛殠,貓引瘦。"范氏說云:"喻印刓弗予。"(卷上《借喻之諺五》)按《蕩寇志》第七十三回高衙內云:"許多日子,只叫我去乾嫖,引得那雌兒睡夢裡都來纏我。只好把家裡的這幾個來熄火,卻又可厭。正是吃殺點心當不得飯!魚兒掛臭,貓兒叫瘦。"口角栩栩,"魚"字、"叫"字,亦遠勝"肉"字、"引"字。俞仲華固越人也。MichaelInnes, Christmasat Candleshoe, Penguin, p. 92: "Whilethe grass grew, the steed starved."

程俱《北山小集》四十卷。致道詩、文極為葉少蘊所推,此《集》即有少蘊《序》。詩亦出入半山、東坡之間,而不如《建康集》之雅貼,要皆寡真切語。文蕭散潔適,在詩之上。此《集》佚去《賀方回墓志銘》,黃蕘圖以至張菊生輩均蒙然不知也。
卷一《雜興》:"軋軋田邊車,卷卷不得休。出之一寸痕,益以幾尺流。扶提暴中野,強作田家謳。車聲真哭聲,天遠將誰尤。九"
《過方子通惟深》。按卷二《秋夜寫懷》第三首亦屬子通,推為"高人"。卷五《聞仲嘉叔問繼以職事行縣道遊茶山及諸勝境作寄一首》自注:"方子通言:頃有好事人刻意仙術,聞施翁遺跡,故往訪之,臨歸但聞妙香不絶云。"卷三十三有《莆陽方子通木志銘》。子通事,《中吳紀聞》所載最多,他則《野客叢書》後所附《野老紀聞》及《瀛奎律髓》卷二十批語,此外惟致道詩、文可參見而已。《滄浪詩話》云:"余嘗見《方子通墓誌》:'唐詩人有八百家,子通所藏有五百家。'今則世不見有,惜哉!"致道此篇並無其語,豈別有一本耶?《永樂大典》卷三千五"人"字引子通《都下寄友人葉褧之》五古一首,他書未見。
卷二《同江彥文江仲嘉游三衢諸山》:"懸瀑或尋丈,勢洶洪河傾。泠泠赴深竇,或如環佩鳴。或於薈蘙中,琴筑時丁丁。"按凡用九"或"字,而句法變化,不同尋常擬議昌黎《南山》詩者。
《戲呈虞君明》:"門施雀羅正可樂,車如鷄栖良不惡。"
卷六《偶書》:"我身如甘柘,既壓無復味。一為老所壓,乃與枯柘類。"自注:"經云:譬如甘柘,既被壓已滓無復味。壯年盛色,亦復如是,既被老壓,無三種味。一""壯膏日已減,老炷安得久。亦如臨河樹,岸墊根復朽。"自注:"經云:壯膏既盡,衰老之炷,何得久停。"按前喻出《大般湼槃經‧聖行品第十九》。寒山詩云:"玉堂挂珠簾,中有嬋娟子。更過三十年,還成甘蔗滓",即用此語。較之希臘詩家蒲桃乾之喻(Lucian, TheDownward Journey: "HERMES: 'Here are 300 babies.' CHARON: 'It'sgreen-grape dead you have brought us.' H.: 'Here you are again,398, all tender and ripe and harvested in season.' C.: 'Good Lord,yes! They are all raisinsnow!'" — Lucian,tr.A.M.Harmon, "The Loeb Classical Library", I, p.11; The Greek Anthology, V, 304: "When youwere a green grape you refused me, when you were ripe you bade mebe off, at least grudge me not a little of yourraisin." — tr.W.R. Paton, "The Loeb ClassicalLibrary", I, p. 293),更為親切。《品花寶鑑》第四十三回:"蘇蕙芳歎云:'荔支鮮的時候何等佳妙,及乾了,便覺酸得可厭。何以形貌變而氣味也會變呢?大約人過了幾年,也就是清而變濁,細而變粗,甘而變酸了。'蕭次賢笑道:'荔支鮮的時候,配得上楊玉妃。如今乾了,也還配得上屈道翁,總還是在棗栗之上'"云云,可參觀。後喻則吾國亦有之:嚴可均《全後漢文》卷十四桓子《新論‧中》云:"與劉伯師夜𤓉脂火坐語,燈中脂索,而炷燋禿將滅,則以示曉伯師,言人衰老亦如彼禿炷矣。"又按致道頗熟內典,非文人口頭禪之筆,觀卷十四《維摩詰所說經通論八篇》及卷十八諸寺院《碑》、《記》可見。卷十《比閱藏經偶成短偈仍寄同志者》云:"無錢空數他人寳,遮眼那令兕革穿",自注:"《華嚴經》云:'譬如貧窮人,日夜數他寳,自無半分錢。'""遮眼"句無注,蓋出《傳燈錄》卷十四:"藥山唯儼禪師看經,僧問:'和尚尋常不許人看經,為什麼却自看?[13] '師曰:'我只圖遮眼。'曰:'某甲學和尚還得也無?'師曰:'若是汝,牛皮也須看透。'"
卷七《初到書局以萬七千錢得一老馬盲右目戯作古句自嘲》:"蹄間三尋汗流赭,九逵雷雹爭飛灑。我窮那得騁追風,正擬虺尵行果下。平生畏途飽經歷,夜半臨深無馭者。故應造物巧相戲,却比盲人騎瞎馬。李南知音當促步,廣漢騰嘲不相假。執鞭良稱塞翁兒,並轡聊從杜陵夏。龐然病顙豈其類,老矣問途那可舍。徑煩一夫事刷秣,似桂新芻不盈把。向來伯厚亦安在,結駟鷄栖同土苴。他年東去把撩風,縱爾逍遙汴東野。"
卷九《罷吏客郡城已數月滯留忽已歲暮浩然興歎》:"揶揄衹送人為郡,噎媢初非我負丞。[14] "
《九日寫懷》:"節物驚心兩鬢華,東籬空繞未開花。百年將半仕三已,五畝就荒天一涯。豈有白衣來剝啄,亦從烏帽自欹斜。真成獨坐空搔首,門柳蕭蕭噪暮鴉。"自注:"高適《九日》詩:'縱使登高衹斷膓,不如獨坐空搔首。'"按《高常侍集》中亦有此詩,題作《重陽》,而無自注。玩其詞氣,斷為致道之作而誤入《常侍集》者。《錦繡萬花谷》卷四《重陽》門引此詩後四句,下注出於致道,亦資傍證。《後村千家詩》誤以此屬常侍,遂傳訛。明活字本《高常侍集》(《四部叢刊》)卷八收之(題作《重陽》),《全唐詩》亦然。"縱使"二句見常侍《九日酬顏少府》詩。弇州《藝苑巵言》卷四譏"百年"一聯是"長慶以後手段",殊為具眼。
卷十《葺蝸廬吳下用葉翰林見寄詩韻》:"四海無廬置此翁,故營松竹儘囊空。明知計出柏馬下,正擬身全木雁中。東郭易成生草舍,南村先怯卷茅風。向來豪氣今如此,敢與元龍較長雄。"自注:"張志和結廬東郭,茨以生草。余結廬皆竹椽松柱。"按昌黎《招楊之罘》:"之罘別我去,計出柏馬下。"(柏與馬在野則不長大,無用處也。)
卷十六《賀方回畫笥有龔高畫二其一戴勝殆非筆墨所成其一鼫鼠尤妙形態曲盡有貪而畏人之意各題數語其上》:"有惕其中,而志逐逐。何以占之?機見於目。"
